Call frame traceback EIPs:
  0x000034f1   _CalcNormal__7Panel3D+677
[...]

if you compile your files with the -g switch then symify will also give the
exact line number within the file where the error occurred.

According to the traceback... it seems so.

Compile with -g or check the arguments you give to math functions. Maybe
 MSC++ does not complain if you write sqrt(-1) while DJGPP gives a FPE...

In this cases I use wrapper functions like:

double my_sqrt(double x)
{
if (x < 0) emit_error(...);
else return sqrt(x);
}

be sure that before the 'cc' there is a TAB and not spaces.

I am not sure but... are you sure it is '-c' and not '-o' ?

where did you put the ':' ? Maybe the problem is in line 3. It should look
more or less like this:

test.exe: $(ojects)

without the tab at the beginnning and with a space or a tab after ':'

I hope I helped a bit.
